Here are the band students who are signed up for Solo and Ensemble. Solo and Ensemble will be held at Sullivan Middle School in Rock Hill SC on April 22nd. Currently I am waiting on times. This event will take place after school. Once I have times I will have an itinerary for parents. It would be easier if the parents would take their child to this state event. The students who earn a superior will earn an individual state medal and help our band program Earn an Outstanding Performance Award. (OPA) This is the highest award given to a MS band program in the state of SC.
I will have more information for students who need transportation to the event. Students who do not attend will have to pay the registration fee back after the event. If you have any questions please email me at Nicholas.gibson@clover.k12.sc.us
